Abstract

Digital technology has transformed Islamic da'wah, positioning YouTube as a key platform where effectiveness depends on the quality of religious content, SEO alignment, algorithmic literacy, and audience engagement strategies in contemporary digital society. This study examines the role of algorithmic optimization in reshaping contemporary Islamic da'wah through a qualitative single-case study of the YouTube channel Barakka’na Mangkoso (South Sulawesi, Indonesia). Data were collected through in-depth interviews, digital observation of YouTube content, and analysis of YouTube Analytics documents. Data analysis employed interactive processes of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. Findings reveal that algorithmic logic has become constitutive of digital da'wah, fundamentally influencing content structure, pacing, and thematic selection. However, strict ethical guardrails prohibiting deceptive clickbait and transactional promises, combined with deep Bugis cultural rootedness, enable the channel to expand reach dramatically without compromising religious authenticity. The study concludes that effective contemporary da'wah now requires dual competence in religious scholarship and algorithmic literacy, offering a replicable model for other preachers and institutions seeking to amplify authentic Islamic messages in the platformized public sphere. The study concludes that effective digital da'wah requires integrating algorithmic literacy with Islamic scholarship and employing ethical, culturally grounded strategies to expand reach without compromising religious authenticity.

Abstract

This study analyzes the da‘wah communication strategies employed by Islamic religious counselors through the Moderate Generation Program in shaping the religious character of youth in West Muna Regency. The objectives of this research are: (1) to describe the forms of da‘wah communication implemented in the Moderate Generation Program by Islamic religious counselors in West Muna Regency; (2) to analyze the strategies used by Islamic religious counselors in fostering the religious character of the younger generation in West Muna Regency; and (3) to identify the supporting and inhibiting factors encountered by Islamic religious counselors in shaping the religious character of youth in the region. The background of this study is grounded in the low level of youth participation in religious activities, alongside the challenges posed by globalization, digitalization, and the growing tendency toward extreme or permissive religious attitudes. The Moderate Generation Program emerges as an innovation in da‘wah that emphasizes the values of religious moderation, aiming to instill a balanced, contextual, and contemporary understanding of Islam. This research adopts a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation involving Islamic religious counselors and youth participating in the program. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, while data validity was ensured through source and technique triangulation. The findings indicate that da‘wah communication within the Moderate Generation Program is carried out through persuasive, dialogical, and participatory approaches, utilizing interpersonal and group communication. The da‘wah strategies applied include adapting materials to the needs of youth, using communicative language, strengthening exemplary behavior, and internalizing the values of religious moderation. Inhibiting factors identified include the low level of religious awareness among some youth, limited supporting facilities, and the strong influence of digital media that is often inconsistent with religious values.
